Guest Post: September 27, 1987 - Monument-builder Found Dead

Elberton, GA -the
dead body of a man in his mid-sixties was discovered in Elberton, northeast Georgia, the city of that claims the title "granite capital of
the world" and was founded by Samuel Elbert, a very famous historical
Freemason.

Police investigations soon determined that he was R.C. (or Robert) Christian, the shadowy figure
that had hired the Elberton Granite Finishing Company to build the
structure of the "American Stonehenge," a monument with the "ten
commandments of the new age" (or alternatively believed to be the "ten
commandments of the Antichrist") that now stood at the highest point in
Elbert County. The owner of the company was a thirty-second degree
masoner and shriner called Joe Fendley, Sr.

This transaction was
discreetly handled by Wyatt C. Martin the President of the Granite City
Bank, Elberton, back in 1979. Throughout this period Martin had served
as sole contact on the honest-to-goodness understanding that Christian
was the pseudonym for a WW2 veteran who represented a small group of
peaceful, faith-based Americans that wanted to enshrine a set of ten
guidelines or principles, an "an edifice to transmit a message to
mankind." It was conjectured that future generations of Americans could
apply these lessons to establish an age of reason, presumably a new
world order in the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust ("Let all nations
rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court"). Cynics suggested that the group was conspiratorial rather than benevolent
in nature seeking to overthrow the Federal Government in the present
day and replace it with a ruling super-elite with a global de-population
agenda known as the "Great Culling." Towns folk concluded that the
whole matter was a hoax concocted by Martin and Fendley and R.C.
Christian wasn't a real person at all (despite Martin insistence that he
knew his true identity) a get-rich quick scam to make money from
visitors.

However the monument stirred controversy because of the
sinister Malthusian de-population logic of its messaging ("Maintain
humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature"). Of course
if the Guidestone messages were crafted for a post-apocalyptic society
then it was perfectly possible that the global population would be below
that threshold at that future time. Nevertheless at the unveiling of
the monument in March 1980, a local minister proclaimed that he believed
the monument was "for sun worshipers, for cult worship and for devil
worship". Others had suggested that the stones were commissioned by
secret societies such as the Rosicrucians (the founder had a similar
name of Christian Rosenkreuz) or even Luciferians and that maybe R.C.
Christian was even an ascendant master. This particular theory gained
further credence when R.C. Christian published a follow-up book called
"Common Sense Renewed" some six years later making a strong case for
eugenics.

Somewhat more mysteriously the engravings on the
Explanatory tablet had been left incomplete ("Time Capsule
Placed six feet below this spot
On To Be Opened on"). Because it was conjectured that the purpose of
R.C. Christian's final visit to Elberton was to engrave these dates the
time capsule was disinterred. It was found to contain a series of
detailed predictions for near-future events in the major cities of the
continental United States including both terrorist attacks and also
natural disasters. Because of this evil association the Guidestones were
broken up and the material used for local construction projects by the
Elberton Granite Finishing Company.

Author's Note:
in reality there is no evidence of a time capsule and contact with
Martin ceased around the time of 9/11, when Christian, already in his
eighties, may well have passed away. Chris Pinto, founder of Adullam
Films claims to have identified the real R.C. Christian
in his documentary "Dark Clouds over Elberton." Whereas computer
analyst William C. Van Smith had said the monument's dimensions
predicted the height of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the
world which opened in Dubai over thirty years after the Georgia
Guidestones were designed. Smith said the builders of the Guidestones
were likely aware of the Burj Khalifa project which he compared to the
biblical Tower of Babel.
